This week I skipped doing cupcakes (only taking custom orders for the summer). Instead I had a wedding cake appointment with one of my August brides, made red velvet cupcakes for a friend's 50th birthday, made a baseball birthday cake and a swimming pool cake. Doing "Cupcake Friday" would have probably pushed me over the edge. This next week I'm making sugar paste gerber daisies for a July wedding cake, and making a TON of desserts for some Microsoft coordinators to sample in preparation for an event at the end of July. I really wish I could find an investor to help me get a shop and a helper.

"My wedding cake was one of the highlights of my wedding day. Lorraine did a great job helping me design the cake. She took my ideas and colors for the wedding and found the perfect design. The cake was DELICIOUS. We still get comments to this day about it. It feels great as the bride when so many people go out of their way to say how much better your cake is than others. And we had a very large wedding so Lorraine helped us figure out how to accomodate all our guests and stay within our budget. We actually did two cakes (bride and groom) and both were delicious. I have ordered other cakes from her for other occassions and continue to love the results."Esther W., Redmond, WA

"We had the wonderful opportunity of having Lorraine make wedding cakes for our two daughters' weddings as well as our sons' wedding dinner. All three events were uniquely different from each other and yet each cake was awesome in design, taste, and elegance! One of the weddings required Lorraine to make 14 cakes since some were used as center pieces on tables. The groom's cake for that event was fabulous in taste as well as design (surfing motiffe) Lorraines' cakes are delicious and lovely on every level. Long after the weddings were over people commented about how good they tasted even though they LOOKED beautiful! Lorraine has the perfect personality for this business. She is calm and inviting yet super fun to be around. She never stresses ...even when we made late changes. Once, at the one year anniversary of one of our daughters we couldn't find the top of her wedding cake ...so I called Lorraine at the last minute to see if by chance she could make a quick one and freeze it and I could overnight it to another state for our daughter. She came through much to our daughter's delight and saved the day! She is a wealth of knowledge in not only cakes but has had enough experience to trust her in guiding us to other people we used in our wedding events. I cannot think of one thing negative about our experiences with Sweet Lorraine. She is amazing and so are her lovely cakes:) "Deb P., Provo, UT

"Lorraine has a gift with cakes. Our son's wedding cake was stunningly beautiful! And, our guests were raving for days that her cake was the absolute best cake they had ever eaten! Sweet Lorraine Cakes are worth every penny!!!Rosie S., Woodinville, WA

"The cake totally MADE the party! I’m not kidding. I had someone tell me that she typically doesn’t like cakes; however, this was the best she’d ever had and loved it. As we cleaned up cake plates, every plate was completely empty(we served generously) and some looked like they had been licked."Taunya C., Redmond,WA

"Sweet Lorraine Cakes aren’t just beautiful, they are scrumptious. From the lemon curd filling to the chocolate ganache – YUM! I won’t go anywhere else for a cake. We recently ordered a cake for a 40th birthday bash – it was a huge hit. Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. The next morning we all got up early to scrounge for leftover cake for breakfast – we dreamed about it all night long."~Marsha T., Mill Creek, WA

"I have hired Lorraine to create four cakes for my family and friends: a wedding cake, a 50th anniversary cake, and two birthday cakes for friends turning 50. They were all outstanding! I have also seen many of her cakes for local weddings and other events. Her artistry is breathtaking, but it is her commitment to quality and her willingness to bend over backwards to make you happy that keeps me coming back for more of her delicious and delightful cakes!"Kristen J., Bothell, WA
